As You Like It-Okonomiyaki at Gaja

[artgalgenius]

When looking for a place for a large group to eat, food preferences and peculiarities can be an issue. That is why I love Gaja in Gardenia-they offer such variety that both a carnivore and vegetarian will be satisfied. I first experienced this unique dish in Osaka, Japan and have loved it since. So after PMX and with everyone craving something

Wait wait wait do they have a thing so i can cook my own takoyaki?
Please say yes? ;_; I think im going to have to go there

Yes, you can cook your own okonomiyaki. Buuut if you are feeling lazy, you can have them cook it up for you.

Ok, once I move back from Japan I need to figure out a way to eithere A) get a place in my hometown in Oklahoma to make takoyaki, B) get this Gaja place to opon up a chain, C) go to California everythimg I want takoyaki, or D) learn to make it myself. C is looking prety tempting... ;)

I like C. But, I did see a kit at the Japanese market that looked very tempting.

This is where we went after the SD Workshop. I do want to try making it sometime. Is there a place you like to go to in SF?

oh wao...was it!? I feel so sad that I missed it!!!!
I got to see one of my artist friends and had dinner with her...I wish I could split myself in half!!!!! *greedy!!!*

There is an okonomiyaki place in Japan town, but we can't make it ;;_;; they have a special menu as well! it has yakisoba underneath the okonomiyaki ;v; It's really good, but best okonomiyaki is the one you make by yourself XD

Yes, its more fun to make it yourself (although I've never tried it at home yet)! Gaja even has one with yakisoba. We made it the last time we were there-it was yummy! The next time you are in LA we can go to Gaja.
